## Abstract Cell‐penetrating peptides (CPPs) are cationic peptides that are able to induce cellular uptake and delivery of large and hydrophilic molecules, that otherwise do not cross the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells. Despite their potential use for gene transfer and drug delivery, the mode
## Abstract To improve the efficiency of intracellular delivery of photosensitizers and the efficacy of photodynamic therapy, a membrane‐penetrating arginine oligopeptide (R~7~) was conjugated to 5‐[4‐carboxyphenyl]‐10,15,20‐triphenyl‐2,3‐dihydroxychlorin (TPC). The resulting conjugate (R~7~–TPC) e
